Snow-covered mountains and five charming villages!

Winter holidays at Lake Achensee

Set against a stunning backdrop of mountains and the lake, the Achensee region is a popular winter holiday destination. The small-scale ski areas provide the perfect terrain for children and beginners. For Nordic skiers, the region has long been recognized as a top-notch cross-country skiing hub. And if you're looking for snow activities that don't involve strapping on a pair of skis, you'll be spoilt for choice.

Tirol’s largest lake in the heart of the Alps offers a unique natural setting that speaks for itself: Experience the magic of winter in five picturesque villages surrounded by snow-covered mountains. The region’s ski areas boast 53 km of family-friendly slopes and special offers for children. With more than 230 kilometres of trails groomed for classic and skate skiing, as well as a variety of trails for adaptive skiing, Lake Achensee is rightly known as one of the best Nordic skiing destinations in the country. If you want to explore the winter wonderland away from the ski runs, you can go on a ski tour, whizz down the natural toboggan runs, take a walk in the idyllic surroundings, or join the Achensee winter hiking programme led by our nature park rangers and guides. Snuggled up under warm blankets, a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the storybook winter scenery is a romantic experience guaranteed to create lasting memories.
